One-Ninety @ Four Seasons Hotel Singapore - A Botanical Inspired Modern Asian Brasserie

One-Ninety at Four seasons Hotel Singapore has finally reopened after its renovation with a refreshed botanical interior. With the transformation, the menu has also been infused with Asian twist on wholesome Provencal cuisine.

Leading the kitchen is Chef Kamarl John previously from Four Seasons London at Ten Trinity Square and Adrift Singapore.

Artisan Sourdough with Seaweed Butter 4/5

Freshly baked daily is the Artisan Sourdough with Seaweed Butter. The flour used for the bread is specially sourced from Hokkaido Japan which is grounded by hand and blended to the restaurant's specification.

Seasonal Seafood Tower 3.5/5

New on the menu is the Seasonal Seafood Tower ($78). The 3-tier tower consists of seafood such as the maine lobster, king crab, mussels, spanner crab, scallops, prawns and tuna. The chef has also specially concocted calamansi aioli and young ginger vinaigrette sauces to go with fresh seafood.
During the promotional period until end of June 2019, you can enjoy 25% off the tower of seafood.

Lobster and Prawn Toast 4.2/5

The Lobster and Prawn Toast with Spicy Tobiko ($8) surprisingly won our hearts with its rich flavour from the lobster and prawn filling, sandwiched in a crispy pillowy toast.

Beef & Caviar, Dijon Emulsion 4/5

The bite size Beef & Caviar, Dijon Emulsion ($18 for 3pc) features wagyu beef tartare seasoned with Dijon emulsion and crowned with Ossetra Prestige caviar.

Avocado Salad 4.2/5

For those looking for a healthier choice, there is the Avocado Salad ($18) with mixed baby cresses and miso dressing. I appreciate the chunky and generous portion of avocado, enliven by the miso dressing. The addition of the roasted Japanese wild rice provided the texture contrast, complementing the whole enjoyment.

Snapper Bouillabaisse 4.2/5

The traditional Provencal fish stew is given an Asian twist in the Snapper Bouillabaisse ($36). The whole snapper fillet comes in a robust seafood based broth, together with clams, mussels, prawns. The used of spicy daikon and lemon grass provided the Asian influence with a hint of citrusy finish.

Iberico Pork Presa 4/5

I was a little surprise when I sighted the pinkish medium rare doneness of the Iberico Pork Presa ($42). Apparently the presa is a specialized muscle within the shoulder, also known as the wagyu of pork. Accordingly to the chef, medium rare is the best way to appreciate the tender, juicy and flavourful cut. This is complemented by the celeriac puree and pineapple chutney spiced with star anise.

Chargrilled Forty Day Aged Rib Chop, MBS 6+, 1.2kg 4.5/5

The highlight for the dinner goes to the Chargrilled Forty Day Aged Rib Chop, MBS 6+, 1.2kg ($188). Cooked to a beautiful pink in the middle with crusty charred edges, the dry aged beef is full of flavour. It also comes with a choice of sides such as Black Truffle Fries, Wok Fried Asian Greens and Wild Mushroom.

If you complete your diner experience with the dessert and cheese buffet for a top up of $28 per person. The cheese selection is not very extensive but you will not want to miss out the delicious local kuehs, cakes and pastries.

In conjunction with its re-opening, One-Ninety is offering 25% off dinner daily, as well as the Seasonal Seafood Tower for both lunch and dinner up to end of June. You can also enjoy free corkage on any alcoholic beverage that you bring along when you dine in a party of 8 or more persons for dinner.

Scrambled @ Icon Village - Burgers And Steak With Scrambled Eggs By Michelin-Starred Chefs

Nestled within Icon Village is Scrambled - a new egg-centric cafe with a scrambled eggs-focused concept and features a wide range of over 9 gourmet scrambled egg burgers, as well as a variety of palatable sides. Helmed by Michelin starred chefs, Hayden and Ju Lih, the scrambled eggs are undoubtedly one of the best I've had. The fluffy brioche burger buns are also made fresh daily by Michelin Star renowned restaurant Burnt Ends as well, and toasted on the spot upon order to ensure absolute freshness in every burger.

Signature Egg 4/5

We headed straight for it’s most popular dish – Signature Egg ($9.90) which comes in a hearty stack of signature scrambled eggs, melted cheddar and hash brown. From the fluffiness of the toasted buns, buttery scrambled eggs to the crunchy hash browns, it boasts a simple yet superb combination. Add in sweet & savoury onion jam, and a touch of spiciness from the chiptotle aioli which was a tad mild to detect.

Bacon & Cheese 3.8/5

The Bacon & Cheese ($9.90) is another one of their top sellers. Featuring the signature scrambled eggs, melted cheddar and bacon strips in between, it was executed pretty well. My only gripe was that the bacon strips were not crispy enough and were rather soft in texture. Top it all off with some sweet & savoury maple aioli for subtle hints of sweetness to go along with the savoury burger.

Scrambled Stack 4.2/5

Arriving in a massive stack of goodness sandwiched in between the familiar toasted buns is the Scrambled Stack ($14.90) which was an absolute hit. Nothing can go wrong with a medley of all the favourite ingredients – signature scrambled eggs, melted cheese, crispy hash brown, spam, crispy bacon, tomato and avocado slices sandwiched in between toasted buns. The addition of sweet & savoury onion jam, and the spicy chipotle aioli provide different flavour dimensions to the burger as well. It was akin to having the ultimate big breakfast (in burger-form), and I was impressed with how thought out this combination was, with all the flavours tying in and balancing off one another.

Steak & Eggs 4.2/5

The Steak & Eggs ($17.90) features generous slices of sous vide sirloin steak cooked to medium rare which renders the meat to a perfect tender succulence, and further drizzled with chimichuri sauce to provide a lift in its flavours with a hint of fresh herbs. The dish also comes with a generous portion scrambled eggs on the side which boasts a buttery, creamy consistency. Simply seasoned with only salt, pepper and chives, and yet already stellar on its own.

Go for their other burger choices on the menu which include the Spam & Cheese, Smoked Salmon, Smoked Duck, Smoked Chicken Burger or the Avocado & Tomato for a healthier alternative. Apart from the scrambled eggs burgers, there are also the Truffle Grilled Cheese Sandwich and truffle fries for the truffle-fans as well. No doubt one of the places I've came across which does their scrambled eggs so well, and paired with unpretentious hearty ingredients in these rich stacks of goodness. It's definitely worth a try!
